Desperate Part 5
"We will need the assistance of the Four Guardians of the Princess."
As if on cue, the inner senshi came running up, skidding to a halt as
their eyes came in contact with Serena.
"Serena, what?s the emergen?Oh my god! Serena!"
"Do not panic, Sailor Soldiers. We must act quickly, but if we combine
our powers, Serena will be all right. Do you understand?" A chorus of
"yeses" and "sures" were heard for a moment, and then there was silence.
"Hey." Said Sailor Jupiter, "Why are we just standing around? Serena
needs our help! "JUPITER STAR POWER!" "MERCURY STAR POWER" "VENUS STAR
POWER!" "MARS STAR POWER!"
Taking a deep breath, Queen Serenity asked Prince Endymion for
strength, and then concentrated hard.
Slowly, the silver crystal of the Silver Milennium appeared in her
hands. Holding it high above her head, Queen Serenity shouted "COSMIC
MOON POWER! UNITE!"
Great gusts of wind swept through the alley. Paper and cans that had
littered the floor of the alley only moments before were now flying
haphazardly through the air.
After a few minutes, though, it seemed as though it was hopeless. "Why
isn?t it working?" "I don?t know, Venus," replied Mars, "but we can?t
just give up! There has to be something else we can try!" "We?re not
strong enough!" said Mercury.
"CHESIRE GALAXY POWER!" A purplw burst of energy was sent forth and
merged with the rest of the energy being cast.
Slowly, a sliver aura began to glow around Serena.
"It?s working!"
Serena?s sigil on her brow flared up and glowed pure gold. Her torn
blouse and miniskirt became the royal qown of the Moon Princess, and
pearls appeared in her hair.
An instant later, Princess Serena was standing before her court,
looking as though nothing had happened.
"Mother. Thank you. How did you know?.."
"I am always with you should you need me. Do not forget it. I love you,
my dear."
As she was saying this, Queen Serenity had begun to fade away.
"I love you too, Mother."
Serena then turned to face her friends appraising eyes. Still dressed
in her royal clothes, Serena was the perfect picture of health. Bruises
no longer marred her peaches and cream complexion, her arm was no longer
broken.
Luna asked the question that was on everyone?s mind. "Serena, what
happened?"
As she gazed at the concerned expressions on her friends faces,
Serena?s face crumpled. Tears fell from the pools that were her eyes, a
seemingly endless stream running down her face.
Her strength deserted her, and Serena began to fall.
Acting quickly, Darien darted forward and caught her before she hit the
ground. Then, he sank to his knees in order to place her gently on the
ground.
Prince Endymions clothes became Dariens green jacket, black shirt, and
grey slacks once again, and Serena?s dress faded back into her regular
clothes, now in tatters from the attack.
Forgetting that she was supposed to be angry with him, Serena turned
her face into Darien?s protective chest.
Unconsciously her hand began to kneed at Darien?s shirt as she
frantically gasped out the story of the attack from beginning to end.
When she got to the part where James had forced himself upon her,
Serena, even in her distress, felt Darien?s chest go rock hard.
Peeping up at him from behind a curtain of blond hair, she gasped.
Darien?s face was colder than ice.
Serena stumbled through the rest of her story, wanting it to be over.
When she was finished, there was absolute silence.
After what seemed like an eternity, Sailor Mars spoke up. "That SLEAZE!
I?d like to get my??" she stopped as Sailor Venus nudged her.
Clearing her throat, Sailor Mars said, "Well, that?s besides the point
right now." Then. She turned to the stranger who had helped to save
Serena?s life and said, "Who are you?"
Stepping out of the shadows, came someone in a sailor uniform. The
colors were pink, purple, and gold, which should have clashed with her
red hair, but somehow seemed just right.
"Who I am is not important. Lets take Serena to your temple, Mars.
After we?ve taken care of her, and she is comfortable, then I will tell
you about myself."
The inner senshi looked at each other before agreeing. Then Sailor
Mercury spoke up. "I know she is physically alright, guys, but she has
got to be emotionally drained. Can we teleport her there?"
"I don?t know, Mercury," said Jupiter, "Serena is in no shape to help
with teleportation, and Darien has to get there as well, so we would be
transporting two additional people. I don?t know if we can handle that
because we don?t have all our strength."
Darien spoke up from the ground. "Take Serena to the temple. Don?t
worry about me, because I have some stuff to do. I?ll see you guys
later."
He got to his feet, and spoke to Serena. "Take care of yourself."
Then, closing his ears to her cries of "Darien!", he took off into the
night.
Forming a circle around Serena, cries of "MERCURY STAR POWER!" "MARS
STAR POWER!" "JUPITER STAR POWER!" "VENUS STAR POWER!" "CHESIRE GALAXY
POWER!" "SAILOR TELEPORT!" filled the air as Serena was transported to
the safety of Rei?s temple.
As soon as the scouts vanished, Darien reappeared. The frightened look
in her eyes broke his heart. *I?m sorry that I wasn?t there for you,
Serena.*, he thought, *But I WILL get the scum who did this to you. I
SWEAR it!"
Ok! This is the end to the Desperate story. I know, it?s sort of a
cliff-hanger. Who is the mysterious Sailor Senshi? Who is James, really?
Will Darien catch him? Will Serena ever be able to go out in public
again?
All this and more in my brand new story, MANHUNT, coming soon to a web
page near you.
